As a new wave of talented acts has started to grow for a few
years within the Doom Metal scene, MONOLITHE has decided since the
beginning of its creation in 2001 - a strange coincidence as the name of
the band is inspired from Kubrick's "2001 - A space odyssey" - to go
further and deeper than any other band of this kind.
Developing an unique style as well as a strong concept with its music
and lyrics, MONOLITHE explores on the acclaimed debut album "Monolithe
I" (released in June 2003 by Appease Me…) the path of the origins of
mankind. Consisting in one single 52 minutes track, this first album opens
the gates of a fascinating vision of what Doom Metal can be : still
slow and heavy but also solemn and mystical, still dark but enlightened by
some positive atmospheres within the black and oppressive feelings
given by this massive sound painting. As the prologue of a saga to be
developed on several albums, "Monolithe I" shows the personality of
MONOLITHE by integrating unusual elements for Doom Metal and creating both
mystic and epic movements.
Going forth with a flexible band line-up which members are picked from
other bands by mastermind Sylvain Bégot, MONOLITHE is ready to unleash
its second volume - "Monolithe II" - in early 2005 on Appease Me… The
journey has just started…
